[CASL-L] SCHOOL LIBRARY visits to observe ways of managing students coming and going

[Cathy Andronik]

We've been trying different systems for YEARS.  I'd love to see some of the strategies other schools use, because nothing seems to work the way it should, especially once the kids figure out how to beat the system.

 Hello,
 
      I am interested in finding several
 HIGH SCHOOL Libraries to visit in the next month or so, to
 observe how you manage students coming to the
 Library.   I would like to visit during a
 high traffic time (larger number, more sending locations,
 lunch) for your library and learn the pros and cons of
 different ways or systems.   My principal
 wants a new or different way to handle it.
 
      I know in 2014, someone shared
 results of  their survey /researching this and shared
 several schools who did passes in different
 ways.   But I do not know who each school was
 and you might have changed since then.
 
      Please let me know if you are a
 H.S. Librarian and describe your pass system for students to
 get to your library from Study Hall, Lunch, Classes, etc.
 during the school day.
 
      It would help to know your
 staffing, if you have additional staff to monitor?... if
 students are on the honor system to do it themselves? ... if
 teachers write passes?  If you have barcoding? or QR
 Coding to check in and out?
 
       Thanks. I am serious about starting to
 try to visit soon as my principal has made this a priority
 to change our schools system somehow.  Please contact
 me to let me know if you are willing to let me visit and
 share your experience.
 
       Sincerely,
